3 Deadly Complexes For Fat Loss and Conditioning
How do people go to the gym day after day and do the same 30 minute workout on the elliptical machine? Honestly I would rather do some sprints in the parking lot outside of a 7/11 in a rival gang’s territory at 2am with nothing on but a game worn jock strap from Terry Tate. No, but seriously, I would rather challenge myself and do something different every time. That is where... Read More

The Breakthrough Home Gym Experiment (Workout #1)
Meet Marty, my new dog that I adopted through Labs4Rescue.com. I can not recommend it enough to adopt rescue dogs and not from a pet store or breeder. Marty just made an epic trip from Texas to Massachusetts on Saturday and is now safe and sound in my apartment. Adopting Marty was not an easy decision. For one thing it means that I am going to be training at home a lot more... Read More

9 Things I Learned in 2009: Part 1
Yep, it is another one of those, “things I learned last year” posts. Hopefully I have some things that aren’t on those other lists, and at least you get to see a dude with abs on his back (so I guess Lumbar extension is OK!). I myself have been on a fat loss quest for about a year. Actually it was more of a body transformation as I was also able to go from a... Read More
Destination Abs Redux: Day 32
Are we back? Yes, we’re back. It has been a long time since I have done a Destination Abs update. Too long. Some have even e-mailed me to ask me what the hell was going on with this project Leigh and I set out on 9 or so months ago. Well, I took some time off from counting calories and worrying about every single calorie I consumed. It seemed like it was much needed, but after... Read More
Destination Abs: Day 134 (Picture Update)
By: Kevin Larrabee, CSCS It has been a while since I have posted pictures for the Destination Abs project. After taking a few days completely off of training I hit it hard for three days with a refeed and on Monday I went back to the normal schedule of lifting. So just to recap, in this phase the goal is to continue to put on lean muscle while limiting fat gain. The process... Read More
